The attention currently being paid to certain minorities by the Berlin traffic light coalition is disproportionate to the actual importance of the small groups at stake.
Therefore, it is time to remember those who need more attention from society.
Almost eight million people in Germany are severely disabled.
Their share of the entire population is around ten percent.
Safe: Many holders of a severely handicapped ID card are able to participate in social life on an equal footing and in a self-determined manner, as required by law, without too much government assistance.
But 11 percent of them have restricted arm or leg function, and another 10 percent have spine and torso.
SPD talks itself out
The number of people who are dependent on a wheelchair alone is around 1.5 million in Germany.
A lot has been done for them in the past.
There is a high level of accessibility in government buildings.
Special toilets can now also be found at motorway service stations.
For many wheelchair users, being able to drive the car independently is of vital importance.
They suffer all the more from not being able to use the charging stations for electric vehicles.
The politicians, who now want to use all their power to launch into the future of e-mobility, are failing to take the severely disabled with them.
At least that is the impression left by the response of the Hessian Minister of Transport, Tarek Al-Wazir, to a current inquiry by the Social Democratic parliamentary group.
The Green politician only refers to talks at the federal level.
"In this way, the state government's commissioner for people with disabilities can also bring in their concerns." The SPD's question about the state government's plans remains unanswered.
Al-Wazir, who wants to become prime minister of all Hessen next year, should perhaps think again about the needs of the considerable handicapped minority.
